Towards A Deep Learning Question-Answering Specialized Chatbot for Objective Structured Clinical Examinations
2019 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN)(2019)
摘要
Medical students undergo exams, called "Objective Structured Clinical Examinations" (OSCEs), to assess their medical competence in clinical tasks. In these OSCEs, a medical student interacts with a standardized patient, asking questions to complete a clinical assessment of the patient's medical case. In real OSCEs, standardized patients or "Actors" are recruited and trained to answer questions about symptoms mentioned in a script designed by the medical examiner. Developing a virtual conversational patient for OSCEs would lead to significant logistical savings. In this work, we develop a deep learning framework to improve the virtual patient's conversational skills. First, deep neural networks learned domain specific word embeddings. Then, long short-term memory networks derived sentence embeddings before a convolutional neural network model selected an answer to a given question from a script. Empirical results on a homegrown corpus showed that this framework outperformed other approaches, and reached an accuracy of 81%.
